Release Notes - Platform 2.0.0 Beta

What's New

OpenMRS Platform 2.0.0 Beta is the second pre-release for testing, leading up to an eventual release of Platform 2.0 in 2016.

 You can download Platform 2.0.0 Beta to try/test it

New Features

(See below for the complete list in the  change log section)

• Support Open Web Apps as a bundled module 
• Support for Order Sets and other features from Platform 1.12-beta
• Migrated LegacyUI to the LegacyUI module. 
• Added support for Java 8,  Spring  4.1.4,  Hibernate 4.3.9
• Moved Allergy API into OpenMRS core.
• Removed deprecated methods from core API
  
  

What this means?

• To use LegacyUI with Platform 2.0.0 Beta, you have to install the LegacyUI module. Neither of Platform 2.0.0 Beta Standalone, Sourceforge distro or openmrs-core github projects come bundled with it 
• If your module uses any deprecated API methods from OpenMRS 1.x, appropriate changes may be required to run it on Platform 2.x
• If your module builds with Java 6 or Java 7 or uses Hibernate 3.x, it might be a good idea to check it's compatibility with Platform 2.x. A number of modules have already been ported to work with Platform 2.x. We had a Developer Forum call on 17 March 2016 to discuss migration of modules to Platform 2.x. It was led by raff.

We especially ask current users try this version out on their own database and with their custom modules.

p.s : Platform 2.0.0-beta includes REST-WS module 2.14, FHIR module 1.4 and OWA module 1.4 (see below)

Even if you don't have time to do any thorough testing, we'd really appreciate it if you can upgrade a copy of your database to the 2.x data model, and report on any errors than may occur in the upgrade script.
